The economy and housing market are changing so rapidly and it is more important than ever to have up-to-date information. Virginia REALTORS® Chief Economist, Ryan Price, is available to speak to your brokers on current conditions and the outlook for the economy and housing market. Each session is conducted virtually and typically runs about 30 minutes, although we can work with your schedule. The presentation is tailored toward the region in which you and your agents do most of your business and covers statewide and local trends related to job growth and unemployment, mortgage rates, home sales, prices, and inventories. There is time for Q&A with Ryan and he is always available for follow-up questions.
